New Brunswick potato farmer Heliodore Cyr had 27 children, and this accomplishment got him onto the TV show "I've Got a Secret." This is his third appearance, in 1959. His wife was too busy to do the show herself. However, a little more digging reveals that not all those children survived infancy. This video is also notable in that many of the comments at YouTube are from his descendants. -via Metafilter
